"Nicolas Sarkozy's advisers received only one demand from the team of
the Democratic candidate: no American flag for the press conference,
because it's a candidate being received, not the president of the
United States."

Of course, I can't be expected to understand the nuance of this request, as I'm not a "citizen of the world" and I only know one language, but it just strikes me as a bit odd. Especially when only 37% of the folks back home (you know, the ones who can actually vote for him) find him to be very patriotic.
